Saturday Morning Rambles…

April is running nearly 6° below average and nearly spot-on where we should be from a precipitation perspective through the 15th.       As we move forward, the big story…

This Is More Like It…

  • Wet open to the work week
  • Shot of colder air
  • Extended dry, sunny stretch coming

Good Supply Of Vitamin D Coming…While the work week is opening cloudy, wet, and gloomy, it certainly won’t end that way.  Rain will end from west to east this afternoon.  Before we get into the much deserved pattern change later this week, we’ll deal with one more shot of chilly air arriving tonight and Tuesday with a brisk NW wind.  Sub-freezing temperatures are a good bet for most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Once to Thursday, we’re “off to the races” as far as temperatures go- adding a couple degrees on afternoon highs each afternoon.  Wall-to-wall sunshine will dominate the forecast as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Enjoy, friends!

Bitterly Cold By April Standards…

Screen Shot 2016-04-09 at 8.09.05 AMHighlights:

  • Cold times continue
  • Rain arrives Sunday
  • Monday storms
  • Slowly moderating late next week

Bundle Up…With temperatures in the middle and upper 20s this morning and ‘chills in the 10s, it’s hard to believe we’re nearing mid-April!  It’s simply downright bitter by April standards.  Early snow showers and flurries should diminish as we progress into the afternoon hours with decreasing cloudiness, as well.

Dry times won’t last long as a warm front approaches Sunday.  This will deliver a thick overcast back to the region, along with developing showers and embedded thunder into Monday.  Early rain numbers into the forecast office offer up the potential of 0.75″-1.25″ on average in the Sunday-Monday time period.

We’ll turn colder and breezy (surprise, surprise) Monday night into the middle of the week, BUT moderating temperatures will develop by late week!  60s are in store for afternoon highs Thursday-Friday with lots of sunshine!  Hang in there, friends!

Thundersleet and Thundersnow Possible Later Today…

While the morning is off to a frigid and quiet start, changes will begin to take place as early as late morning into the early afternoon hours.  Another disturbance will rotate through central IN this afternoon and evening and interact with the unseasonably cold air (both aloft and at the surface) to ignite convective showers.  Some of these showers, mixed at times with sleet and snow, will be accompanied by thunder.

2Eventually, as cold air is reinforced this evening, all precipitation should transition to snow this evening into early Saturday.  While it won’t snow for everyone, scattered heavy snow bursts will be plenty capable of producing a quick coating for some neighborhoods tonight.

3Speaking of the cold, highs Saturday will remain in the 30s for most.  Yes, this is April…

4Hang in there, friends.  After another chilly week next week, changes are in the offing for late month.  Warmth is coming….eventually.  🙂
